Status Updates From Farewell to Manzanar: A tru...

I should have finished this today. Oh well, I will for sure tomorrow. This section is post-Manzanar and I’m actually liking it a lot more because it’s a lot about her racial identity and her internal struggle about how others see her and how she sees herself. This feels much more personal and therefore more immediate.

I’m reading this a lot slower than I anticipated I would. Not sure why that is, it’s really pretty short. It’s also… I dunno, not quite what I had expected. I think I might have said it in my last update at 18% but I feel the same: the outrage, the horror, the visceral reaction I expected to feel isn’t coming through, for the most part. I wonder if it would be different had she been an adult at the time.
